Preview: Ghost Rider is back for Marvel Now ’16

The Felipe Smith/Tradd Moore run on Ghost Rider was a stylish new take on the character. The Marvel Now ’16 verssion isn’t quite as stylized, but we’re still digging the manga infused variant cover by Smith, as well as his Hip Hop variant.

Ghost Rider #1 goes on sale on November 30th.

Duda. Over the Line. Felipe Smith’s first Ghost Rider series was one of the LEAST sj-inspired comics to come out of Marvel in recent times. Yes, they did replace a CIS white man with a CIS Latino man , but Felipe Smith succeeded at reinvigorating the Ghost Rider whereas Garth Ennis could not.

As far as I know, there was no actual faggotry in the comics. It was Fast and Furious with a supernatural twist.
